Geometrical features of a Jewish monument: study with a DGS
Thierry Dana-Picard, Sara Hershkovitz · Journal of Mathematics and the Arts · 2019
We study a couple of geometrical elements of a monumental synagogue (Dohany Synagogue in Budapest). Then we describe how undergraduate students from the Jewish orthodox population have performed a technology-based study, using a Dynamical Geometry System, notions, and tools of analytic geometry. These students come without a classical background in mathematics, and such activities relying on artefacts form their everyday life help to attract them to mathematics learning.
